2" SHACKLE HITCH EXPERT 2.0
The MONSTER HITCH EXPERT 2.0 was designed to work hand in hand with the monster swivel hook, any standard 3/4" or 7/8" screw pin shackle and the monster reaper shackle as well. The HITCH EXPERT 2.0 was made for all standard 2" hitch receivers. These units are lightweight, yet still capable of normal recovery operations that require a simple, safe point of attachment.
2" HYDRA HITCH SOFT SHACKLE/STEEL SHACKLE HITCH
The industry’s first recovery hitch compatible with both steel shackles and soft shackles.
Meet the HYDRA HITCH™—the industry’s first dual-sided recovery hitch built for both steel and soft shackles. Precision-machined from 7075-T6 billet aluminum, the HYDRA HITCH™ combines unmatched strength, versatility, and design innovation. Featuring our exclusive TRUE SMOOTH™ radius for synthetic rope protection and a solid platform for steel shackles, it’s the only hitch engineered to perform flawlessly in any recovery setup. Proudly Made in the USA, laser-etched for safety, and finished in durable Prismatic Powder Coat or Cerakote®, the HYDRA HITCH™ sets a new standard for strength, safety, and simplicity.
Smooth Radius Side: Precision-machined TRUE SMOOTH™ radius edges minimize friction and fiber wear when using soft shackles or synthetic recovery lines.
Flat Pin Platform Side: Optimized for steel screw pin shackles, providing a secure, even load surface.
Simply flip, insert, and lock into your hitch receiver—ready for any recovery scenario.

7075-T6 Aluminum provides an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio—rivaling steel while remaining lightweight and corrosion-resistant. Each hitch is CNC-machined to precise tolerances to ensure consistent performance under load.
Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) is one of the strongest synthetic fibers available—pound for pound as strong as steel, yet significantly lighter and water-resistant.
Smooth contact surfaces are critical for maintaining the longevity of UHMWPE-based soft shackles and recovery ropes. The TRUE SMOOTH™ radius of the HYDRA HITCH™ minimizes abrasion and fiber wear, ensuring your recovery equipment performs safely and reliably for years to come.

The MONSTER HOOK swivel hook is the only recovery hook that is capable of mounting on a hitch receiver, bumper tabs, or a winch. The MHI swivel hook is designed for quick and efficient strap, or rope connections.
